I guess United Center didn’t expect the Bulls to do this well.
Not sure if that’s better or worse than having a Finals game broadcast pre-empted for the white Bronco low-speed car chase.
Someone tell Charles Barkley and Dylan Stableford that Tuesday to Sunday is a two-day shift.
Also, it doesn’t seem like the league’s stumble so much as Jerry Reinsdorf’s. He owns the Bulls and the arena, right? Why did he contract his arena out on that date? Did he not expect the Bulls to do this well?
Oprah has more stroke than Vince McMahon. The WWE had to use a different venue in a similar situation with the Nuggets in the NBA playoffs.
I am not going to read the linked story because the mental image I got from Oprah is disrupting the NBA Playoffs isn’t something that I want to have wiped out by cold reality.
Did you picture Oprah in a Jordan jersey rushing the court to block a Lebron dunk too?
I was imagining Oprah in a Joker/Penguin style Blow-through-the-walls with an army of costumed henchmen in the middle of a game disruption.
I just picture her yelling the worst, most devastating trash talk ever heard from the sidelines, reducing players of both teams to crying, sobbing wrecks.
I wish she’d cut it out.
I picture her getting her hypocritical bitch ass capped and thrown in a dumpster, but that would just upset all her fancows and we’d have to endure a bunch of boring tributes, which would be worse.
Baby, I’m sure whatever you do for your last show will be spectacular. Now can I just watch the game?
Sure. Go right ahead.
Oh. So now you’re mad.
Um, no.
You’re not mad?
No.
Why you got you arms and legs crossed and you won’t make eye contact?
You know what?! It’s not all about you! (Stomps off to the kitchen)
(A little later)Hey, hon, could you bring me a beer?
Why don’t you get Derrick Rose to bring you a beer?
Then, as she strolls across the carnage out her way out, dropping some kind of “This is how it’s done, Spike” diss.
I guess dissing Spike could fit into this one, too. Add Nicholson to the list as well.
